Optimization of dried garlic physicochemical properties using a self-organizing map and the development of an artificial intelligence prediction model
Abstract The experiments were conducted at different levels of infrared power, airflow, and temperature. The relationships between the input process factors and response factors’ physicochemical properties of dried garlic were optimized by a self-organizing map (SOM), and the model was developed usi...

| description | Abstract The experiments were conducted at different levels of infrared power, airflow, and temperature. The relationships between the input process factors and response factors’ physicochemical properties of dried garlic were optimized by a self-organizing map (SOM), and the model was developed using machine learning. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with 99% predicting accuracy and Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) with 97% clustering accuracy were used to determine the quality characteristics of garlic. Specifically, five key areas were identified, and valuable insights were offered for optimizing garlic production and improving its overall quality. The (aw) values for the sample ranged from 0.43 to 0.48. The maximum vitamin C content was 0.112 mg/g, followed by an air temperature of 40 °C and 0.7 m/s air velocity under 1500 W/m². The total color change values increased with IR and higher air temperature but declined with higher air velocity. Also, the garlic’s flavor strength, allicin content, water activity, and vitamin C levels decreased as the IR and air temperature increased. The results demonstrated a significant impact of the independent parameters on the response parameters (P < 0.01). Interestingly, the machine learning predictions closely matched the test data sets, providing valuable insights for understanding and controlling the factors affecting garlic drying performances. |
